Legs

Legs. I always check out people's legs.  That might seem weird... but hear me out.  We notice things on other people that we like and wish we had for ourselves. 

While I was flying home for Christmas, I couldn't help but notice people's legs.  Walking off of the jet-way, walking through the airport- how nice it must be to walk confidently, quickly, on strong, sturdy legs. How nice it must be to walk without fear that your legs will give out, that you might slip on the floor, or someone will run into you and knock you slightly off balance, just enough that you fall over.

I bet people don't even think twice about their awesome legs that get them from place to place efficiently and without difficulty. I do wish I had better legs.  Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful that my legs can still do what they can do, but of course I wish they could do more. It seems like all legs should be created equal, they should be able to do the same things... what should be simple things. 


Oh, legs.

Happy Giving Tuesday!

If you didn't get a chance to give back today, make a point to do so before the end of the year.  There's nothing more important.  
Donate to a charity, volunteer, or do something nice for someone else.

Re-Cap

Some things I've posted other places but not on this blog:


This excellent blog about reading young adult novels to escape reality.

An update on clinical trials for a DMD drug.

The Graceful Art of Falling was available for free for a weekend on Kindle!  I'll be better about posting it next time (probably early November).

And, President Obama signed the #MDCAREAct into law. 


Whew, I'll try to write another entry soon...

Happy Disability Awareness Month!

October is disability awareness month!  It sometimes gets lost behind all the pink ribbons and breast cancer awareness, but it's equally important to bring awareness to disabilities- mental, physical, and cognitive. 

I plan to read up on a disease or disorder I am not familiar with- I challenge you to do the same.

Yes, do.


If we can't do this everyday, we should at least try to do something a few times a week.  
Great advice to live by.

Looking Back

In honor of our 1 year anniversary (woohoo!), I give you some of the original cover options we had for the book.

Did we make the right decision?
